The aim of this research was to determine the attitudes of students towards the rights of homosexual persons. A total of N=210 students participated in the research, but as the target population of this research were full-time and part-time students of the University of Zagreb aged 18 to 30, heterosexual and male or female, only 181 students were included in data processing. In this research, a web questionnaire was used, which consisted of a combination of standardized measurement scales and newly constructed questions. The results of the research showed that there are statistically significant differences in supporting the rights of lesbians and gey men, with female students supporting rights more than male students, as well as students attending the study of auxiliary courses, humanities and arts students. Also, in male students, a positive association of the experience of previous contact with supporting the rights of gay men and lesbians was obtained, while in female students only a statistically significant positive association of the experience of previous contact and supporting the rights of gay men was obtained. The obtained results indicate the need for education of students on the subject of sexual orientation, as well as the encouragement of contacts with persons of homosexual orientation throughout education .
